Four people ran around in the street for 3 hours without paying $500 dollars. I'm outraged.

I'm so glad that the baby was alright and that she grew into such an amazing and confident young woman. This is a good chance to plug Safe Haven laws, which decriminalized leaving newborns in specific places, such as hospitals and fire stations. More information here: http://safehaven.tv/states/

Both this and the linked story seem to be missing a crucial bit of information... how exactly did the letters go missing for 45 years?!

I wonder how realistic this study is; given that lots of the world's population can't drink milk past childhood, are they all limping around on osteoarthritic knees when they get old? Or is this just another example of (mostly) Caucasian-centric science?
